I grasp it just fine thank you. As far as your shot at my intelligence goes, only fools would continue to defend an illogical system of measurement and defend it on the grounds that anyone that even questions it must be stupid and should move to canada. Pretty sure anyone with a fifth grade education can figure out 8/32 is 1/4 (figured that one out using my flash cards).

Main point I was trying to get across in the intial rant was just that our system is uneccesarily cumbersome and really just doesn't make sense to use compared to the metric system. Like some have said though the metric system doesn't apply to everything perfectly and I was originally just referring to things such as feet, yards, inches, lbs, and ozs. Obviously it wouldn't work very good to switch every thing from miles in the u.s. now being that a section is 1 square mile.
